Hello everyone and Mark, my name is Julia and to my surprise, I recieved an invitation to return to this website. I don't remember when exactly I became a member but I remember Jappleng to appear much differently and the forums to be very active.

I remember Jappleng to be very unique and the only place that you could learn Japanese online! Jappleng was ahead of its time in features!!

I left Jappleng because I had lost interest in Japanese things, anime wasn't interesting to me and I had very little interest in studying the language in full. I'm married now with two kids (boy, oldest and girl!) and have never been to Japan.

I feel nostalgic coming back and although I may not have much time to spend here, I will look around and keep in touch from time to time. You did an amazing work with the website but it saddens me to see that there is not much community yet.  Jappleng I think was really big and very, very active in the mid-to-late 2000s!

Before I close off, what was that little red mascot guy's name again? Is he still something on Jappleng?

Wow, it's nice to see you again Julies! Your profile says you j3oined August 3, 2006 and you're member #13 which means you're one one the very first members of the site, considering members started at #4 and a few members between me and you were test accounts.

That means you are literally like the 4th person to have joined during the second account phase and managed to survive the database corruption of 2007! (I didn't know much about databases and ended up destroying like 40,000+ accounts by accident T__T)

That right there merits something awesome as a thank you. I'm not sure what yet, but I want to give you a present. For now, welcome back and thank you so much for saying hi! I do remember you btw!! Also congrats on getting married and having kids! Time flies doesn't it? lol

I remember you! :D Hiiiiiiii

Hi! ^.^
